I was waiting at the bus stop at the mall and a creepy man of about 40, smoking, probably hadn’t showered for weeks, came up to me. Well, he roamed around a bit but he walked very close to me and said, “Hey.. you’re lookin pretty good.” I’m 13. I just said, “Um ok bye” and walked away.
As I was walking away he said, “Do you wanna dollar for .. ” and I didn’t hear the rest. I expect it was something vulgar. As I left the bus stop I saw he had binoculars, and he was looking at other women. It was really scary and I felt so violated.
